Anyone with an enquiring mind will appreciate this chunky 1920s compendium of puzzles, games, tricks, magic and ‘how-to-makes’, revealing everything from how to play table cricket, to how to crack a ‘mystic multiplication’, to how make a pantograph.
With almost 200 pages and some wonderful diagrams and illustrations, it captures the quirk, eccentricity and energy of its era wonderfully.
